Annie has been writing romance since high school and she loves to write Western Christian Romance stories today. Weaving a Christian element into her stories helps her be constantly reminded of her own faith.Annie enjoys naming her characters and she does this at the start of her writing process. Many of the characters in her stories are named after people who have been or are currently important in her life. Most of the time, the character isn't based on their personalities, but she used their names as a tiny tribute.When you read an Annie Boone story, you won't be pounded with scriptures, but the characters – at least most of them! – are God fearing people. They trust in God to help them through life's twists and turns as many of us do today.Annie lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and two cats.
